WordPress 2.1 has been released for quite a while now, but knowing that there could be many problems with plugins and I don’t want the website to be down for a long time, I have decided to leave it later. Finally got sometime this weekend, I have decided it’s time to upgread. Did the usual backups and search for new versions of all the plugins. Disable them all during the upgrade, overwrite the current wordpress with the new one, ran the upgrade script and everything was working except one or two plugins. Even WPG2, the wordpress-gallery2 plugin which I was worry of not working works without any further configuration.

Since I started upgrading the site, I tried out a few new plugins including the one on the stats page to show who’s online and another anti-spam image plugins. One feature which I really like about wordpress 2.1 is that in the edit page, it has two tabs for switching between Visual and Code rather than before where it pops up a window for editing the HTML code. I really appreciate and quite impressive with open source software!

If you are reading this post, you probably have just received a call from one of the numbers listed below and wanting to find out who called before calling them back. If that’s the case, I suggest you don’t call the number back. I just receive a call from 01554741237 and guess what, it’s one of those call that ask you if you want to upgrade the phone with them or “we have on our record that you have just upgraded your phone, can you tell us who you upgrade it with?”. Another very common number is 02920368701, a lot of people seems to be getting a call from them.

How to response is up to you! But I would suggest that you don’t go for their plan, from my experience I get the cheapest package from staying with the current provider. And you don’t have to worry about the cheaque back which is likely you will not get in most cases depends which company you bought it from. Hence I have complied a list of numbers that people considered to be spam numbers:

I hope this list don’t keep growing and hope these people will find a better job. If you are unlucky enough to get a call from these cold callers, I hope you think carefully before paying them any money or give them any of your details. If you have a number to add to the list, feel free to leave a comment. I would like to thanks Blog-Ed which is the site where I get most of these numbers from. Thank you.
